NHS England has recently undertaken a primary care data gathering programme, which has established a consistent baseline of data for every National Health Service-reimbursed general practice (GP) across England, with outputs visually displayed and accessible to sustainability and transformation partnerships, integrated care systems, clinical commissioning groups and primary care networks via the Strategic Health Asset Planning and Evaluation Place Atlas, which is available in an online-only format. As of December 2023, this reported a total of 8,522 GP premises.

The requested data however was not collected as part of this data gathering programme and is not held by NHS England.
